Notes to the Basic Message

Indeed, I am Allah . There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

*2: (Quran 2.185):

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.

*3: (Quran 48:29):

Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

(Quran 33:40):

Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah , of all things, Knowing.

(Quran 3:144):

Muhammad (May Allah exalt his mention) is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him.

(Quran 47:2):

And those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what has been sent down upon Muhammad – and it is the truth from their Lord – He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition.

*4: (Quran 80.22):

Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again).

(Quran 83:4):

Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning)

*5. (Quran 18:48):

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], “You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment.”

*6. (Quran 37:21):

[They will be told], “This is the DayofJudgement which you used to deny.”

*7. (Quran 79:36)

And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,-

(Quran 102: 6-7):

You will surely see the Hellfire.

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.

*8. (Quran 26:90, 50:31, 81:31):

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far,

And when Paradise is brought near

*9. Quran 83:10-17.

Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

Who deny the Day of Recompense.

No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.

*10. Quran 40:70-72.

Those who deny the Book and that with which We sent Our messengers – they are going to know,

When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged

In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].

*11. Quran 18:103-106.

In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].

[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.”

Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.

That is their recompense – Hell – for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.

Allah’s Messenger said, “There will be none among you but his Lord will talk to him, and there will be no interpreter between him and Allah. He will look to his right and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look to his left and see nothing but his deeds which

he has sent forward, and will look in front of him and see nothing but the (Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date (given in charity).” AlA’mash said: ‘Amr bin Murra said, Khaithama narrated the same and added, ‘..even with a good word.’ ”

*13. (Quran 102:8):

Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.

*14 (Quran 18:49):

And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, “Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?” And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.

(Quran 99:6-8):

That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.

So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it,

And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.

*15 (Quran 101:6-11) Muhsin Khan Translations

Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,

He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).

But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light,

He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).

And what will make you know what it is?

(It is) a hot blazing Fire!

*16 (Quran 8:50)

And if you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve (at death), they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): “Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire.”

It was narrated that al-Bara’ (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: We went out with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for the funeral of a man from among the Ansaar. We came to the grave and when (the deceased) was placed in the lahd, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sat down and we sat around him, as if there were birds on our heads (i.e., quiet and still).

In his hand he had a stick with which he was scratching the ground. Then he raised his head and said, “Seek refuge with Allaah from the torment of the grave”, two or three times.

Then he said, “When the believing slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with white faces like the sun, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see. They bring with them shrouds from Paradise and perfumes from Paradise.

Then the Angel of Death comes and sits by his head, and he says, ‘O good soul, come forth to forgiveness from Allaah and His pleasure.’ Then it comes out easily like a drop of water from the mouth of a water skin. When he seizes it, they do not leave it in his hand for an instant before they take it and put it in that shroud with that perfume, and there comes from it a fragrance like the finest musk on the face of the earth.

Then they ascend and they do not pass by any group of angels but they say, ‘Who is this good soul?’ and they say, ‘It is So and so the son of So and so, calling him by the best names by which he was known in this world, until they reach the lowest heaven. They ask for it to be opened to them and it is opened, and (the soul) is welcomed and accompanied to the next heaven by those who are closest to Allaah, until they reach the seventh heaven. Then Allaah says: ‘Record the book of My slave in ‘Illiyoon in the seventh heaven, and return him to the earth, for from it I created them, to it I will return them and from it I will bring them forth once again.’

So his soul is returned to his body and there come to him two angels who make him sit up and they say to him, ‘Who is your Lord?’ He says, ‘Allaah.’ They say, ‘What is your religion?’ He says, ‘My religion is Islam.’ They say, ‘Who is this man who was sent among you?’ He says, ‘He is the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ They say, ‘How did you know?’ He says, ‘I read the Book of Allaah and I believed in it.’ Then a voice calls out from heaven, ‘My slave has spoken the truth, so prepare for him a bed from Paradise and clothe him from Paradise, and open for him a gate to Paradise.’ Then there comes to him some of its fragrance, and his grave is made wide, as far as he can see.

Then there comes to him a man with a handsome face and handsome clothes, and a good fragrance, who says, ‘Receive the glad tidings that will bring you joy this day.’ He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which brings glad tidings.’ He says, ‘I am your righteous deeds.’ He says, ‘O Lord, hasten the Hour so that I may return to my family and my wealth.’

But when the disbelieving slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with black faces, bringing sackcloth, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see.

Then the Angel of Death comes and sits by his head, and he says, ‘O evil soul, come forth to the wrath of Allaah and His anger.’ Then his soul disperses inside his body, then comes out cutting the veins and nerves, like a skewer passing through wet wool. When he seizes it, they do not leave it in his hand for an instant before they take it and put it in that sackcloth, and there comes from it a stench like the foulest stench of a dead body on the face of the earth.

Then they ascend and they do not pass by any group of angels but they say, ‘Who is this evil soul?’ and they say, ‘It is So and so the son of So and so, calling him by the worst names by which he was known in this world, until they reach the lowest heaven. They ask for it to be opened to them and it is not opened.” Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited (interpretation of the meaning):

“for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle”

[al-A’raaf 7:40]

He said: “Then Allaah says, ‘Record the book of My slave in Sijjeen in the lowest earth, and return him to the earth, for from it I created them, to it I will return them and from it I will bring them forth once again.’ So his soul is cast down.” Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited the verse (interpretation of the meaning):

“and whoever assigns partners to Allaah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place”

[al-Hajj 22:31]

He said: “Then his soul is returned to his body, and there come to him two angels who make him sit up and they say to him, ‘Who is your Lord?’ He says, ‘Oh, oh, I don’t know.’ They say, ‘What is your religion?’ He says, ‘Oh, oh, I don’t know.’ Then a voice calls out from heaven, ‘Prepare for him a bed from Hell and clothe him from Hell, and open for him a gate to Hell.’

Then there comes to him some of its heat and hot winds, and his grave is constricted and compresses him until his ribs interlock. Then there comes to him a man with an ugly face and ugly clothes, and a foul stench, who says, ‘Receive the bad news, this is the day that you were promised.’ He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which forebodes evil.’ He says, ‘I am your evil deeds.’ He says, ‘O Lord, do not let the Hour come, do not let the Hour come.’”

The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

*19. (80:33-37)

Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection’s second blowing of Trumpet),

That Day shall a man flee from his brother,

And from his mother and his father,

And from his wife and his children.

Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others.

*20. (Quran 70:10-15)

And no friend will ask of a friend,

Though they shall be made to see one another [(i.e. on the Day of Resurrection), there will be none but see his father, children and relatives, but he will neither speak to them nor will ask them for any help)], – the Mujrim, (criminal, sinner, disbeliever, etc.) would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children.

Allah’s Messenger said, “There is none who testifies sincerely from heart that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, except that Allah, will save him from the Hell-fire.” Mu’adh said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have glad tidings?” He replied, “When the people hear about it, they will solely depend on it.” Then Mu’adh narrated the above-mentioned Hadith just before his death, being afraid of committing sin (by not telling the knowledge).

*22. (Quran 4:48)

Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.

(Quran 4:117):

Verily! Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners in worship with Him, but He forgives whom he pleases sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, has indeed strayed far away.

Dawah Made Easy

– What’s the choice, it’s my parents. They took care of me, now I need to take care of them. As simple as it is. They took care of me when I was child and needed help. Now they are child and needed help.

# That’s a very simple way to put this. But most of the people don’t understand this simple math of life. You must be very religious?
– you don’t have to be religious to do that.

# I know, it’s a normal human morality.
– But I am religious. I am Catholic.
